About Otte Gear
It all started with the lofty goal of making the best clothing for the guys with the world’s most demanding job: American combat troops. We decided from the start that we did not want to be told how to make our gear, what fabric or designs to use, or which suppliers we had to buy from. We simply wanted to design for them – the door-kickers, soldiers, operators, pipe-hitters – using the best materials available anywhere. Everything we built had to have a purpose.
